My first post here... Just did a mockup of an imaginary Atari ST game. It uses 11 colors, tell me your thoughts! :) thanks!

Very nice !

Remember that you can use the extended palette of the Atari STE for more compatibility with PC palette and use 14 colors maxi with the 1,2 & 3 plans.

Nice start! 

A couple things that may be helpful: 
1. You may want to use low contrast colors for the background/non-interactive objects and higher contrast colors for characters and platforms.  (I made an example)




That being the case,
2. It often makes sense to pick separate colors for background and for characters, even if it limits how many colors you have in each part.
